EdCamp Harrisburg: Great Day
Great day at EdCamp Harrisburg I highly recommend if you get a chance to go to one of type of Camps, try it.
HI Sister What a flattering pic of me
Some of the things I learned and liked
| Lino It - http://en.linoit.com/ | An online “sticky” board; includes iPhone app; no email needed to participate; great for discussions/asking questions; great for sharing resources, links, etc. |
| BCIUiPad - | An iPad site that includes links to subject-area content designed for the iPad |
| Arted20 - http://arted20.ning.com/
| Similar set up like facebook but for art educators |
| TED - http://www.ted.com/ | Motivational videos |
Of course the few I have mentioned and used a time or two www.artsonia.com and www.animoto.com
Great video: Ok not appropriate for in class use, maybe high school, depending on your students but great ideas for creating a living painting as a resource for you. A project I have been thinking about doing every year but just have not got motivated to do yet. One of the college art teachers, Terry Yacovelli, showed this this video. My favorite I may have my students do is the sunflower have a group design flowers and groups create the background??

Great element of art lesson I recently did
Mondrian: Shape, Color and line
Mondrian:
1. What is abstract art?
2. What do you think this painting by Mondrian: Boogie Woogie is about? Tell me something about it?
Watch the animated video of one of Mondrian’s art works: Boogie Woogie. After watching the video: What do you think this painting is about or looks like?
Did the animation help you? The full title is Broadway Boogie Woogie I left off Broadway to see if you could guess, most references to this art piece drop the "Broadway" from the title.
Project: Mondrian painting
Look at the Google Earth picture of our school . If you do not have a projector Print a copy.
1. Draw all the lines that you want in Pencil you may straighten more than the real image of leave them curved depends on what feeling of motion you want.
2. Paint in sections in 3 colors Mondrian used primary colors: Red, yellow, blue, black, and white Choose 3 colors
**remember Black will be your pencil lines
3. When dry use large black marker to go over pencil lines.
